How would you classify strippers?

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - April 12, 2012

That the issue before the Kansas Supreme Court.

The state contends Club Orleans needs to pay taxes for the strippers unemployment benefits.

But attorneys for the club argue the women aren't workers.

They pay rent to use the stage and up to 50 bucks for a half-hour in the private lap dance room.

Lawyers say the club makes most its money from food and booze, not the fees charged to the dancers.
